Back from Convention…and ordering winner!

I’m home from convention and FIRED UP about the creative outlook for Fall from Stampin’ Up!…like this darling cheerleader card (wish I could give credit to whomever created it!) using our punches and cardstock. But what is coming is even MORE exciting…a partnership with Build-a-Bear in the Holiday Mini Catalog, Digital Scrapbooking, lovely jewelry charms to hand-stamp and personalize, crafty gifts for every season, home decor that will knock the antlers off Dasher himself, and much more!

As I’m wading through card swaps and samples, notes and photos, e-mail and school registrations, I just want to congratulate Karen Weatherspoon who won a Holiday Card Kit for her online order while I was away!

Here are another few snapshots from convention:

Thousands of stamped samples to enjoy:My friend/roommate Sue and I paused for a photo with the theme (and new tagline for Stampin’ Up!):The opening session featured a new Theme Song, complete with gymnastic dancers:Awards Night entertainment, Tonic Sol-Fa (totally awesome A capella!)
